On Saturday, Nagelsman will take a double with his Bayern Munich over his former club Rosenbalsport Leipzig. In the match of the autumn part, the champions won with a clear 4: 1. At home, however, they did not beat this opponent in the last two matches, and last season the match ended in a spectacular 3: 3. Honestly, today I do not even expect the guests to sign, and a loss of only a goal or two would be acceptable to them.
Bayern Munich is confidently heading for another title, but there is no right to make mistakes, as Borussia Dortmund is having a very strong season. In the first match of the new year, the champions lost 1: 2 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach, which allowed the difference to the second Dortmund to be reduced to six points. In the following two games, Bayern was convincing with four goals each as a guest of Cologne and Hertha.
This season RB Leipzig is far from fighting for the title, but with good performances in January came close to the top four. Last month, the Bulls scored their first away win of the season, beating Stuttgart 2-0. The other two matches were at home, and as usual the team did not face difficulties in victories over Mainz and Wolfsburg.
Bayern made a few surprises this season, but three of the four came against teams that are traditionally uncomfortable for the team - Borussia Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt. RB Leipzig is a team that has had good moments against the champions in recent years, but has only one success, and in the current campaign it seems weaker than previous ones.
As I mentioned at the beginning, today I do not expect the guests to even sign. Bayern Munich have won zero in five of their ten home games, but it is a bit worrying that a dry net is missing in the matches with the teams in the top six. RB Leipzig has only seven goals as a guest, and in three of his four defeats outside he failed to sign. The odds of home success at zero are tempting and I think I can trust my instincts, which statistically seem well-founded.
